Top-class darts returns to Blackpool's Winter Gardens in July for the Stan James World Matchplay.

The annual summer extravaganza takes place from 19-26 July in the Empress Ballroom, with defending champion Phil "The Power" Taylor heading a 32-man field competing for £400,000 prize money and the coveted title.

Taylor claimed an incredible ninth World Matchplay title last year, defeating 2007 champion James Wade in arguably the greatest final in the event's 15-year history.

Tickets are now on sale for this year's tournament, with prices starting at £15 or £180 for a season ticket.
